  1. Cervidil AND Pitocin

    losbozos replied to rdnkmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I cannot agree more w/ the peeps. Given together is a violation of the standard of care let alone dangerous. I don't care what study he's read, you will never find any professional organization that...

  2. Infant admission at bedside

    losbozos replied to s.maire.2126's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At my current job, that's the only way we do it. And that's the only way I've done it for about the past 20-25 years. In fact, it takes less nurses to do so. We only have 2 nurses on duty no matter...

  3. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    losbozos replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Have to agree. And we wonder why people choose home

  4. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    losbozos replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Seems strange but in the heat of the moment, clothing is the last thing on a mom's mind. Honestly, I once had a woman (g5+) arrive in the middle of the night wearing her Sunday best (hose, slip,...

  5. "Make sure to get induced...everyone does it!"

    losbozos replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Random, elective inductions w/o medical indications or extremly important social reasons are not the standard of care, anymore. Thankfully. ACOG & AWHONN have initiatives to curtail the induction...

  6. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    losbozos replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So, what's the problem? Or the harm? Sometimes it seems a little strange but is more that we perceive it as confrontational & questioning our skills? If so, why? And if you think the patients...

  7. NRP Lesson Questions

    losbozos replied to NancyP123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    PPV then transfer. All the other stuff is just wasting time-time you don't have. I've seen people waste time w/ drying, stimulating when all that should be

  8. Vag Exams on Preterm Patients??

    losbozos replied to jodyangel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have always done a VE but not on every preterm pt. Do the FFN first, & depending in what's going on do the VE IF appropriate. That's your job, right? To assess? If in doubt, call the provider...

  9. Labor and delivery vs. Postpartum

    losbozos replied to michellesebert's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Always worked at places where we worked all areas. No prob at

  10. Any Lactation Consultants here to answer some questions?

    losbozos replied to homecareRN5's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello! It will be very difficult (not impossible) to become a LC w/o some kind of maternal-child work experience. It is not worth it to cut corners & I strongly suggest getting some experience...

  11. Iv orders

    losbozos replied to kellycinalli's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What I heard is that she is sick & tired of stoopid colleagues & the (seemingly) never ending behaviors which reflect lack of thought. Or, is it just my state of mind right now? I totally try...

  12. Torn

    losbozos replied to arnie1234's topic in General Nursing

    Run! Run like the wind, sweetie. I stayed in my own personal hell for 6 years and it probably took double that off my life. Don't look back; you can bet they

  13. Verbal, Written Warnings and Termination

    losbozos replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Hello to fellow Nurses in Arms! I haven't been on this site for over a year because I did finally land a job and have been too busy to post. That's good news. I just re-read the last 6 or 7 pages of...

  14. Bullying

    losbozos replied to Nittybelle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I so agree w/ your post. I think many of us have worked w/ people that are less than professional and need a "talking to"; not a "talking about". That is a form of bullying and very unprofessional....

  15. Torn

    losbozos replied to arnie1234's topic in General Nursing

    Nice.

  16. Precipitous Birth care

    losbozos replied to zandra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yeah, unless a person knows that feeling they have no room to talk....I suppose. Except the lawyers. No man (aka, doctor or lawyer) or a woman that has not birthed completely understands the powerful...

  17. Precipitous Birth care

    losbozos replied to zandra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So, I had a precip del the other night; ER doc got there as baby was crowning. He told her to push and I did encourage her on this direction. Baby came quickly and was healthy and parents were happy....

  18. Nursing for staffing company W2 or 1099

    losbozos replied to duke1010's topic in General Nursing

    I know, I know. I was stupid about that. But, I do have deductions which should

  19. Nursing for staffing company W2 or 1099

    losbozos replied to duke1010's topic in General Nursing

    OK, I am in tax hell. I worked for an agency for the last two months in 2010 and Jan 2011. I had no idea they weren't taking money out for taxes--my ignorance is my only defense. Now I owe over $3000...

  20. My job made me an independent contractor, what does this mean for me?

    losbozos replied to dehen13's topic in General Nursing

    I read this thread with much interest. I too, fell into this mire and now I am in a tax mess. I finally got a contract job thru an agency and didn't know I was a non-employee (aka IC) until I got my...

  21. Verbal, Written Warnings and Termination

    losbozos replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    The joint commission issued a sentinel warning in Nov '08 (I think the date is close. Ck. their web site) on behaviors that threaten pt. safety. It addresses bullying. Not all hospitals are involved...

  22. Verbal, Written Warnings and Termination

    losbozos replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Since many (too many) of us are/have experienced such abuse, maybe we need to find our voice and direct our boards of nursing to our problems in this matter? If everyone of us sent a letter or called,...

  23. Verbal, Written Warnings and Termination

    losbozos replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    It's all so depressing to hear of this. What has happened to our profession. I do want to add that the more one achieves in the nursing profession, the greater the

  24. Verbal, Written Warnings and Termination

    losbozos replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree with you more! I'm from the Midwest, too and have exactly the same observations. I truly believe this has been a major factor in my relationships at work. I'm almost ready to grab...

  25. Verbal, Written Warnings and Termination

    losbozos replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone. I just re-read some of the posts and something occurred to me. There is a common theme thinly floating in a majority of the posts. First, please don't anyone take this the wrong...
